Death-Dealer (audio story): Difference between revisions

On an arid market world, not dissimilar to a middle-eastern bazaar on [[Earth]], the Doctor treats Leela to a day of shopping.  She struggles to understand the fundamentals of commerce, but then spots a weapon that appeals to her.  Paying the merchant, Jason, she examines her new toy. Soon, however, she is slain by Jason's knife.  The Doctor discovers her dead body and demands answers.  A local policeman explains that no laws have been transgressed; Leela has bought a [[death-dealing|legal death experience]].  Soon, she springs back to life.  Jason explains that the knife's edge contained not only a fast acting poison, but also restorative microscopic robots. Whole again, Leela returns to [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] with the Doctor, musing on the newfound appreciation she has for life, now that she has died.  The Doctor, having come back from the dead himself, can appreciate her point.
